Things God Never Says

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." (A.W. Tozer)

"The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy which can ever engage the attention of a child of God is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father." (C.H. Spurgeon, in his first sermon at 20 years old)

As I was "thinking about God" the other day, meditating on Romans 11:33-36, it entered my mind that there are some things that God never says. Here's my list...

1. "Wow!" ~ As the most beautiful, most amazing, most glorious thing in all the universe, there is nothing outside of Himself that would prompt this expression of wonder and awe.
2. "Oops!" ~ The omnipotent God, pure and perfect, and perfectly capable in all things never makes mistakes. (The discussion of what the Bible means when it says that "God repented..." will have to be for another time.)
3. "Really?!" ~ The omniscient God is never surprised or confused or unsure.
4. "Help!" ~ Again, the omnipotent, sovereign, self-sufficient, self-sustaining God does not need anyone or anything. He lacks nothing outside Himself.
5. "I'm tired." ~ Omnipotence also means that He is inexhaustible. He never slumbers or sleeps.
   
6. "I'm lonely." ~ The triune Godhead eternally delights in Himself.
7. "I'm bored." ~ Jesus said, "The Father is always working..." He is always on mission, working to accomplish His sovereign purposes in the world, working human history out to His desired end.

He is worthy of our worship!
